KY — Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean, south of Cuba. George Town, on Grand Cayman, is the capital and a major offshore financial center — the Cayman Islands are the world's fifth-largest financial center. The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is one of the highest-valued currency units in the world, pegged to the USD at approximately 1 KYD = 1.20 USD. For developers, the KY country code and .ky domain identify Caymanian digital presence. The +1-345 dialing code follows the North American Numbering Plan. The en-KY locale handles Caymanian English. The Cayman Islands' role as a global financial hub means applications handling financial data frequently encounter KYD and Cayman-registered entities. The relatively high KYD-to-USD rate means currency conversion must be handled precisely. The territory's importance in global fund administration and corporate structures makes KY a frequently referenced jurisdiction in financial software.
